1. Quality .improvement
2. Evidence-based .practice
3. Patient-centered .care
4. Teamwork .and .collaboration
Correct .Answer: .3
Rationale .1: .Identifying .safety .hazards .and .measuring .quality .is .an .example .of .the .core .competency .quality
.improvement.
Rationale .2: .Using .best .research .when .providing .patient .care .is .an .example .of .the .core .competency
.evidence- .based .practice.
Rationale .3: .The .nurse .instructing .the .patient . is .an .example .of .the .competency . patient-centered .care.
Rationale .4: .The .core .competency .teamwork .and .collaboration .involves .collaboration .between .disciplines .to
